Vehicle Stripping Terms & Conditions

Sign and vehicle wrap removal can be very time consuming and you could damage the paint if you don’t know what your doing.

Here are a few basic terms and conditions you should understand when you ask use to remove or strip your vehicle graphics.

1. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN

This is an estimate only and is given in good faith based on the job specifications and information provided by the client.
While we try to be as accurate as possible there are still a number of unforeseen things that may extend the time required to remove the graphics.

2. THE REMOVALS

All removals are quoted separately. Wrap removal can be very time consuming, we charge
by the square meter and by the hour for the labour. Sign Centre can not be held responsible for any paint
damage or existing striping damage when we do a removal. Since we do not know the integrity of the
existing paint job or the condition of the painted clear coat or the condition of any existing decals.

Sign Centre can not be held liable if during the removal of the wrap the clear coat is peeled back with the wrap.
In some cases if you have existing vinyl stripes under the wrap ( such as an RV that has striping) or a bus, we
can not be held liable if portions of the stripes get removed during the wrap removal. Over the years of sun
exposure prior to the wrap the striping adhesive can become weak and in some areas the striping will come
up as the wrap is removed. Bigidea does not use any steel or metal knives during the removal process. In
some extreme cases when the wrap has been on the vehicle for more than 5 year the wrap may no longer be
removable so the vehicle may need to go to a body shop to be sanded and repainted. If he vehicle requires
a body shop, Sign Centre will refer the client to a body shop and client shall be responsible for

We cannot be responsible for damage to paintwork when the vinyl is removed, and would not advise application on
a re-sprayed surface, or poor quality/rusted paintwork. Please note, our experience shows that removal of vinyl
designed for vehicle wraps, from good quality, factory original paintwork, will not damage the paintwork.

However, it is the duty and responsibility of the owner of the vehicles to ensure suitability of the existing surface before it is wrapped. In the event that SIGN CENTRE is asked to remove pre-installed vinyl, installed by a company other than SIGN CENTRE, SIGN CENTRE will make every effort to remove the existing vinyl, but will not be held responsible for any damage they may occur to the surface of the painted vehicle after removal. This is due to the fact that not all preinstalled vinyl’s are designed to be removed. In many cases pre existing
vinyl are non-removable. When we wrap over existing vinyl strips or letters, the new wrap is so thin on top that there will be evidence
that there is old vinyl underneath the new vinyl.
